Public bug reported:
gnome-terminal -e 'command...' emits a warning:
# Option “-e” is deprecated and might be removed in a later version of
gnome-terminal.
# Use “-- ” to terminate the options and put the command line to execute after
it.
However this is contrary to the man page, which says nothing about -e
being deprecated, and does not mention anything about the new method
being possible (-- followed by command and options).
Please update the documentation
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. man gnome-terminal
2. gnome-terminal -e "sh -c 'ls -l; sleep 3'"
RESULTS: The documented method of specifying a command causes a
deprecation warning.
EXPECTED RESULTS: Documentation should say how to do the right thing.
